Implementation of its Hospital Discharge Service: Policy and Operating Model

Guidance, on how to support the safe and timely discharge of people who no

longer need to stay in hospital (the “Discharge Requirements”).

 

The report seeks approval:

• to accept the additional NHS funding for pooled funds use under the Better Care Fund (BCF) Section 75 Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”); and

• to enter in a Deed of Variation of the Partnership Agreement between the London Boroughs of Havering, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham; and the respective Clinical Commissioning Groups, to effect the necessary changes.

The cumulative value of the schemes associated with the decision is: likely to

result in expenditure, which is over £500,000; and to be significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in two or more wards.

15/03/2021 - Community Halls Covid Support ref: 6004    Recommendations Approved

The Leader approved two approaches:

 

·       Where the Council is the landlord, that it revises the payment terms further so that the rent for community halls can be repaid over a longer period, reflecting the predicted recovery of activity as the current lockdown eases and their cashflow returns. Individual repayment plans will be offered to these community halls that aim to make payments affordable in the short term but which will ensure that all rent and arrears are repaid by 31 March 2023.

 

·       Separately, from a community engagement point of view, it is proposed that where a community association leases a community hall from the Council, they will be invited to submit an application by a given deadline should they believe they are eligible for a rescue package. Once the deadline has passed, all applications will be considered and grants will be allocated based on the severity of the financial challenge faced by each organisation. The resulting package of financial support should not exceed £10,000 per centre and there should not be more than one package per centre. The total rescue programme will be capped at £100,000.
